Unfortunately I am not allowed to post links since I am too new of a user.

Go to imgur and check out the image who's ID is 4FEMS

(It'd be great if someone could edit a link in)

I once asked about a similar port on the back of my old VN250 dumbphone over on the SparkFun IRC channel at freenode, I recall them mentioning something about it being there so manufacturers could easily write an image to a large number of devices. Is that true? If so/not could this be used to facilitate hacking the device?

I might be able to hack up a connector if I knew what kind of jack that was.

Google it.

I am almost certain that this is a "u.fl" interface. If you look on a Wireless NIC you will see the same connector. This connector is for a wireless antenna. You could try connecting an antenna to It. I have one and will tell you the results.:)

Its for connecting an external antenna, many phones have this somewhere but its usually hard to find and easy to damage if you mess around with it.
